2005 4.6l intake manifold help

[00ex831]

Hey guys,
Any help is welcome on this one.
I'm looking for a intake manifold for my 2005 4.6l. But all I can find (other then a ford part) is manifolds for 2002... Will this part fit?
If not does anyone know what part will. Ford oem is over 400$ whereas the dorman 615-175 (2002 explorer) is only 200$. Thanks for your help

According to Fordparts.com the single overhead cam 4.6 uses same part number for 2002 and 2005.

Agree on this. From personal experience, the Dorman is perfectly fine for a 2004 as well.

I imagined it was the same parts. Thanks for the help. I'm going to go ahead and order the dorman. I'll let ya know hoe it turns out.

Did the Dorman 615-175 intake manifold work for your 2005 Explorer? Any issues with leaking or other?
